Toronto Game Developer Web Ring.

A simple static site used as a web ring to discover and connect memebers of the Toronto Game Developer community.

If you know how to make a website but have never made a blog, template based static site generators are popular choices, (Hugo is my recomendation), although writing your own custom static site generator can be dead simple. Static pages can be hosted for free on github.

If you've never done any programming but still want to make a site, neocities is very accessible platform to get started with and provides free hosting as well.
